Course details

Today's workforce spans six generations, from teenagers to people in their eighties, and most leadership frameworks were not built for that range. The gap shows up in team dynamics, communication breakdowns, and retention, and it widens as Gen Alpha enters the workforce while many leaders are still adapting to Gen Z. Leading across six generations is not about choosing one style. It’s about adjusting your approach without losing consistency in your standards.

In this course, Johnny C. Taylor, Jr., president and CEO of SHRM, joins LinkedIn senior content producer Kelly Mumme for a conversation on how leaders can meet this challenge. Learn how to recognize the six-generation reality and the leadership gap it creates, adapt your leadership style to build stronger teams, and unlock the strategic value of older workers through recruitment, reskilling, and intergenerational mentoring.

This is a recording of a live event and features audience participation and an unscripted Q&A. Visit linkedin.com/learning/topics/linkedin-live for more conversations featuring prominent leaders.
